What do you say when you have nothing more to say?

What do you say when there are no real questions?

What do you say when saying anything will only serve the wrong agenda?

from Luke 23:1–12

There is nothing, absolutely nothing, so true in the moral world as that the centering on oneself means the losing of oneself, whether that self be the individual self, the social self, the economic self, or the national self. Self-centeredness is disruptive — intrinsically so.

From “Is the Kingdom of God Realism?” by E. Stanley Jones

“The world needs people devoted to God’s creatures and God’s children as well as to God, and as committed to this life as to the afterlife, to this city as to the heavenly city. For as Jurgen Habermas says, a democracy of free people must look elsewhere for the qualities its citizens need. “ — Philip Yancey (pg. 222/Grace Notes)
